Detailed Instructions

1. Start off with large cardboard boxes. Preferably 5 feet long. Cut two pieces about 2 feet in width, then put them together with tape.
2. Tape both the top side and the bottom side. This allows the board to bend in half for portability reasons!
3. Determine which side of the surface has a more slippery surface. A slippery surface allows you to drift easier.

Additional**
If the cardboard surface is not slippery enough, add in poster paper as the surface.

4. Once this set has been created, take your RC car and do some laps. The key to this demonstration is to perform consecutive hairpin turns.
5. Create some borders so that the car has a physical track to follow.
6. Using thin strips (roughly an inch in width) create a straight border.
7. Using a larger piece of cardboard, cut out semi-circular borders.

Now the RC car can be any toy car purchased from a local toy store. However, it is best if the wheels are of a smoother material. My RC car has plastic wheels, which allows the car to lose traction in its rear wheels much easier.

If your RC car has rubber wheels (or wheels with a lot of grip), we can create fake plastic wheels using scotch tape or plastic cups.
Simply cut out enough to cover the rubber wheels and glue/tape them on.

After the construction of the track, all you will need to do is practice how to drift! There is a little bit of a technique I do when I use my RC car to drift.

I start with accelerating full throttle, and just before the turn, I hit the reverse button and turn in the direction at the same time. This causes the RC car to reach a constant velocity as it enters the semi-circular turn. Once it reaches the exit of the turn, I accelerate.

Thats it! Have fun trying to drift!
